Chop Chop! (Grace Oberhofer)

Granite Planet, 2024 / Seattle Opera, 2023 | Commissioned by Seattle Opera + Jane Lang Davis Creation Lab

In this "biting," satirical horror opera, an Upper East Side mother has only a few hours left to cook the roast and set the table before Mr. Rochester, Papa’s boss, arrives for dinner. Good thing she has her darling twins, Bonnie and Beau, to help her decide on the special ingredient! What'll it be?

A Stranger at the Door (Daniel J.F. Wolfert)

Seattle Opera, 2022 | Commissioned by Seattle Opera + Jane Lang Davis Creation Lab

A post-apocalyptic chamber opera. From the safety of their small, metal ark, sisters Anna and Miriam anxiously brace for a cataclysmic flood. When they spot a stranger approaching on the horizon, Anna insists they offer them shelter – but Miriam fears letting a stranger on board.

The Way the Sky Looks (Matthew Shreve)

NYU Paulson Center, 2025 (forthcoming)

Legazpi, Philippines: an empty house in the country. The dark before sunrise. A woman on a lawn chair, dressed in black, carries a bouquet of roses. From the brush, a deer approaches. A 45-minute chamber opera exploring loss, perspective, and countless lives lived beneath a single sky.
